Cornbread, a Southern classic, is a versatile dish that can be served at any meal. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast option, a side dish for dinner, or a sweet treat, cornbread is sure to satisfy. With its slightly sweet flavor and tender crumb, cornbread is a favorite among many. If you're looking to make cornbread in a 12-inch skillet, there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind. First, you'll need to make sure you have a well-seasoned skillet. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking. Second, you'll need to use a combination of cornmeal and all-purpose flour. This will give the cornbread a nice texture and flavor. Finally, you'll need to be careful not to overcook the cornbread. Otherwise, it will become dry and crumbly.

SKILLET CORNBREAD
This is the only way I will make cornbread now. Hubby bought me a 12 "Lodge cast iron skillet and since I had always heard my grandma talk about how good cornbread was in a skillet I tried it. This is her recipe with a few tweaks of my own. Its great hot,right out of the oven, with butter and honey. I also serve it with stews and soups. Enjoy

Steps:
- Set your oven to 425°F and then add the tbsp of oil to your skillet. Place the skillet in the oven while it comes to temperature.
- In the meantime, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs and then add the milk and the melted butter.
- Add this into the dry ingredients and mix until blended, if needed you could add a touch more milk, but batter should be thick.
- Go back to your stove wearing your oven mitts and take out the skillet, careful its HOT, then swirl it around a little to coat the bottom of the entire pan with the oil. Place on top of your stove and quickly pour your mixture into the skillet, you will hear it sizzle a little. Place back into your oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until cornbread is nicely browned on top. You can do the cake test if you want with a toothpick also. Serve right away with butter and honey, or jam. FYI - I use a 12 inch skillet for this recipe.
CAST IRON CORNBREAD
When it comes to deciding what to bring to a cookout, this super easy cast iron cornbread is the clear winner. You don't even need a cast iron pan! Ribs or brisket are great, though not cheap, while a bag of chips is just weak sauce. On the other hand, this cornbread is very inexpensive to make, but that'll be the last thing anyone will be thinking about as they eat. In fact, you'll probably be asked to bring it to the next gathering!

MINI SKILLET CORNBREAD
My husband says this recipe is close enough to the cornbread his mother used to make, so I consider it a winner. His criteria were to "put butter on the cornbread without it crumbling to pieces" and "be able to break it up into a glass of milk without it turning to mush."

BROWN BUTTER SKILLET CORNBREAD
This lightly sweet cornbread has a crunchy, buttery crust, which comes from baking it in a hot skillet. If you have a cast-iron pan, this is the time to use it. The heavy, heat-retaining material will give you the darkest color (which equals the most flavor). But any large ovenproof skillet will work. And if you don't have a skillet big enough to hold all the batter, you can either halve the recipe or bake the cornbread in 9-by-13-inch pan. (Brown the butter first in a saucepan.) Your bread won't have the same dark crust, but the moist crumb flavored with brown butter and maple syrup is ample recompense.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, in a 11- or 12-inch skillet (ovenproof and preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan to lightly coat sides and bottom, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.)
- Pour brown butter into a large bowl. (Do not wipe out the pan.) Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, then whisk in buttermilk. The mixture should be cool to the touch; if not, let cool before whisking in the eggs. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- If the skillet is no longer hot (cast iron retains heat longer than other metals), reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes. Scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it emerges clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.

AUNTIE'S CAST-IRON CORNBREAD
In our house growing up, my mother and aunt were two peas in a pod. Truth be told, they still are. So, when it came to whipping up meals for the family, they often worked in tandem. If it was a night for Mommy's chili--that meant Auntie's cornbread was also coming to the party. My aunt adds a touch more sugar to her batter. It gives the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the spice of my mom's chili. Adding butter to the bottom of the pan before pouring in the batter also creates a crust that helps it stand up to the heartiness of the chili. Crispy. Sweet. And buttery. Nothing could be better.

SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and allow to heat until very hot, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, sorghum syrup, egg and the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold to combine.
- Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the cornbread is golden with a crisp crust, about 25 minutes.
SKILLET CORNBREAD
Steps:
- HEAT the oven to 450°F. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Heat the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- COMBINE the egg, milk, and remaining 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a medium mixing bowl.
- STIR in the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. The batter should be creamy and pourable like pancake batter. If it seems too thick or thickens while the oven and skillet heat, stir in a little water.
- POUR the batter into the hot skillet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges look deep golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
- Corn Cakes
- You can also make corn cakes with this same batter, a popular carrier for a pile of pulled pork. Heat a greased griddle over medium heat. For each corn cake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Flip when the edges are dry and the bottom side is a deep golden brown. The recipe will make about 12.
- Note
- You can substitute 1 1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal mix for the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Tips:
- Use a 12-inch skillet. This will ensure that the cornbread is evenly cooked and has a crispy crust.
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent the cornbread from sticking.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. This will help to create a smooth batter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix, or the cornbread will be tough.
- Pour the batter into the preheated skillet. The batter should be about 1 inch thick.
- Bake the cornbread for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cornbread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
This recipe for 12-inch skillet cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The cornbread is moist and flavorful, with a crispy crust and a slightly sweet taste. It is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes, such as chili, soup, or salad.
